Well good for you, and way to show outstanding judgment and coolness under extreme circumstances.

The kind of training described is way overdue and ought to be emulated.  Hell, it ought to be mandated.

Totally agree about MANDATORY.

However:

"With that in mind, Powers, who now oversees the department’s training academy, plans to make dog training mandatory for all recruits and optional for veteran officers."

Should be required for ALL officers.
